The island nation of Niue and New Zealand Mint commemorate the first prequel in the Star Wars series with these 2018 Niue 1 oz Star Wars The Phantom Menace Movie Poster Silver Coins, featuring a unique rectangular design and a replica of the Phantom Menace movie poster.
The Phantom Menace has always evoked particularly strong emotions from Star Wars fans ever since its release. First in a series of 3 Star Wars prequels, the movie drew flak from fans across the world for not meeting their high expectations. Nevertheless, it is one of the integral pieces of the Star Wars franchise and ties the whole story together.
Each of these unique rectangular silver coins is struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, it is recognized as legal tender in the island nation of Niue -- carrying a face value of $2 (NZD) each.
The designs on the reverses of these coins cleverly replicate both the colors and imagery from the original movie poster. This movie poster is simply timeless, and the New Zealand Mint has done an excellent job of immortalizing a pixel-perfect replica on pure silver.
On the other hand, the obverses feature Ian Rank-Broadley's rendition of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Since the Queen is still the official head of state of New Zealand, her effigy is prominent on all currency coinage in the island nation Niue, including these silver coins from the New Zealand Mint.
Whether you’re an avid Star Wars fan or a coin collector who wants to complete this set of Star Wars coins from the New Zealand Mint – don’t miss out on the opportunity to grab these 2018 1 oz Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Movie Poster Silver Coins before stocks run dry. Considering it boasts a mintage of just 10,000, this silver coin will become scarce sooner than later.
